Turkey Empanadas

Prep: 40 min | Total: 1 hr 20 min | Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sliced onions
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 cups shredded cooked turkey
  • 2/3 cup KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce, divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped cooked sweet potatoes
  • 1 (14.1 ounce) package ready-to-use refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Cook onions in large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water; cover. Simmer on medium heat 10 minutes or until onions are caramelized and water is cooked off, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
  3. Combine turkey, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, potatoes and onions.
  4. Roll each pie crust on lightly floured surface to 13-inch round; cut into 4 wedges. Spoon about 1/3 cup turkey mixture onto center of each wedge. Brush rounded edge with egg. Bring point of each dough wedge over filling to rounded edge; gently press top to remove excess air. Crimp edges to seal, completely enclosing filling. Place on parchment-covered baking sheet; bend each into crescent shape. Brush with remaining egg.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. Meanwhile, cook remaining barbecue sauce and cranberry sauce in saucepan until warmed.
  7. Serve empanadas with sauce.

Notes

For a smoky and spicy kick, mix barbecue sauce with 2 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce before using as directed.

Substitute: Prepare using shredded cooked chicken.

For even baking of these flavorful empanadas, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the 30-minutes baking time.
